dailycaller.com ^ | 7/14/2017

“Polar bears hurt by climate change are more likely to turn to a new food source — humans” is the rather chilling headline WaPo went with in its article, published Thursday. The Post reported that with higher temperatures, “the more likely polar bears are to interact with humans — and possibly attack and eat them.”

WaPo relied on a recently-published study in the Wildlife Society Bulletin that looked at recorded polar bear attacks going back to 1870. The authors found “no trend” in the number of attacks by decade through 2014, which you’d think would count against the claim that bear attacks increase with less ice, but you thought wrong.

As I understand it, they are very dangerous and already have a taste for humans. They are carnivores whether it gets warmer or not.

Ah’m skeered. Ah’m rilly, riiiiiily skeered.

Let’s see...What’s the tribes philosophy?? Eat or be eaten? They hunt the damn things. They just don’t snitch like White Man.

If you took out these cruise folks, the US and Russian Navy....it’s probably less than a thousand people a year who get past the Circle.

That said....I can’t think of a single bear that won’t go after and eat a human.

LOL! Well, the members of the MSM just might sit around and wait to be eaten. It’s only courteous, you know? ;)

But first, the polar bear will quiz the reporters on the National Anthem. If the journalists—our so-called ‘betters’—can’t recognize the song, they are just too stupid to be eaten...

You’re right. Both reporters and environmentalists are more likely to be short on survival skills.
